in general. If you experience issues with self-made or wall-wart style power
supply, try USB power from a computer. Unearthed power supplies are also known

that on some ESP8266 modules, FlashROM can be programmed as little as 20 times
before programming errors occur. This is *much* less than 100,000 programming
cycles cited for FlashROM chips of a type used with ESP8266 by reputable
